The green, yellow and white beaded bracelet is the commercial organisation’s latest product and a first for South African rugby.

Signet Licensing, representing South African Rugby Union (SARU) negotiated and approved the licensing agreement, which includes a donation from the sale of the Springbok bracelet to the Chris Burger Petro Jackson Players’ Fund.
Morné du Plessis, Founder and Director of the Players’ Fund says, “We are extremely pleased to have been selected by The Bead Co. to benefit from the Springbok bracelet. The company’s other bracelet initiatives, namely Rhino Force, Ocean Force, Cycle Force and Earth Force have created awareness and generated funding for other great organisations and we are honoured to be part of this innovative form of fund raising. As a proudly South African non-profit organisation, working for South Africans, supported by South Africans, we are all connected in our love for the game of rugby”.
The bracelet allows Springbok rugby fans all over the world to show their support of our BOKKE by simply wearing a symbol of great pride, a hand-made, beaded, Springbok bracelet. Become instantly recognisable as a supporter of South African rugby and help make a difference in the lives of injured rugby players.
